Popular Post seajae Posted February 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2015 once again we see how great the thai police force is, where were they, oh yes thats right, in the airconditioned office ignoring the gunfire/phone calls. How in the hell can we expect this sort of crap to be sorted out when the police refuse to do their job, they simply ignore everything unless there is something in it for them. When are they going to start to pull these kids over and search them for weapons, check them for licences, drugs etc, maybe even going out to stop the trouble from getting to the stage of shooting at each other too but again this would require the police to do what they are paid for and we all know that will never happen here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stat088 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Bit scary for a small sleepy rural town? Not so sleepy. I have had to take cover behind the bar because of gunshots there a few years ago. In the morning they found a dead guy behind a big flower pot at a shop across the road.

These little pr•cks are allowed to run free at night. Parents have little or no concern for their safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

car720 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 In most towns in Thailand the police go home at 5pm and don't work on Saturday or Sunday. Ask anyone who rides a motorcycle what hours and days you must wear your helmet. Also a lot of these kiddy gangs are run by the local plod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you live long enouhgt in Thailand with and between the Thais, you will remark that most of the boys or as free as a bird and may drive a motocycle as soon they can manage a bicycle. In the village (moo ban) where I live, with mostly highschool teachers...officer policeman... or working for one of the gouvernement divisions in the provinse, its even worse because they can afford to pay the moocycle and pocket money . Spoke to them......answer " You dont understand, it's make it easier if they go to school or can visit freinds without derange us if we work. The big problem in THA is that the police dont do there job at all, so the schools too, you see at any time of the day boys in school uniform passing time in the Siri Ban's. If I take a wolk with my dogs and take a quick look in the homes you see the parents hanging for the tv are drinking with freinds. GIIAT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cup-O-coffee Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 This happens in most countries so let's not jump on the bandwagon and start bashing Thailand as usual! At face value, I would agree with you. However, since this is "Thailand News" then your observation is a bit moot and off the topic. Yet, in taking your thought to view, I would point out that the reasons of the cause are so very different here than anywhere else, and perhaps that is what makes posters comments more to the point... meaning that they do bash Thailand for the (possible / probable) reasons behind the things that go on here, yet go on elsewhere... but not, perhaps, for the same reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're an idiot This comment really shows a complete lack of understanding of these types of issues. Best to sit back on your bar stool and get back to your drinking so you can stop saying idiotic things. Dude, lighten up. Personal attacks are both uncalled for and indicate a low development level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a known fact that the majority of Thai people have no control over the boys only the girls, hence the way they behave out of control Spot on! My 1st relationship with a Thai was a woman with a son that she allowed to run amok. Any attempt at discipline was rejected even when the little mongrel was stealing motorbikes. The final straw was when she told me if he left school at 15 he wouldn't have to get a job for 5 or 6 years while bludging on me. Yeah, right.

The police here are far smarter than you think. They've worked out that they still get paid whether they work or not, with absolutely no consequences if they don't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
